Abstract

Herein, we report a 54-nuclei copper nanocluster, [Cu₅₄S₁₃O₆(^tBuS)₂₀(^tBuSO₃)₁₂] (Cu₅₄), which is the largest atom-precise Cu^I/Cu^II mix-valent cluster reported. The Cu₅₄ nanoclusters supported by TiO₂ exhibit decent photocatalytic activity for phenol degradation under visible light. This work provides a platform to explore the catalytic behaviors of Cu^I/Cu^II nanosystems.
